    Today was my first time being directed into a spot in the new Pixar Pals parking structure.. did not think to take a good pictures (this one so I remembered where I was parked).
    The number of trees in the tram plaza continues to grow. From ground level it is looking like a forest.
    The concrete extension that will lead to the new elevator shaft on the Mickey and Friends Parking structure is rising up. Forms are installed on the 3rd level and rebar reaches up toward the 4th already.

    The Disneyland Monorail is closed during the day now. This time of year it happened more days than not last year due to the heat (there is no A/C and they have to run at reduced capacity or close down at different temperature thresholds) so this year they just scheduled it closed from 11am to 6pm daily. Plus it saves money for them.
  • Page Number: 19
    Signage at the Monorail gate.
    Noticed hydration stations outside Disney home.

    Due to the work FastPass distribution on the Hyperion courtyard side of the street with carts.
    The box is removed, looks like some curb work. Not sure if they did it before or as part of this project but the Hollywood Land column is removed from this side of the street.

    A wider view of the area.

    Duke Caboom is still not working, just standing there posing for pictures I guess.
    While in line for the Pixar Pal-A-Round received this email. Seems Disney is reminding Annual Passholders they can visit DCA. Odd to send this to passes that have no block-outs.
    Time to check out the Marvel project from the air.

    More steel on the ground waiting to be lifted into place.

    The Red Car Barn.
    Another look at the steel work.

    Leaving took a while this evening. I started walking around 9:54pm
    Was about 2 trams back at 10:00pm, did not reach my car until 10:22pm. I really miss having a walkway right past the tram stop to exit. Then I was on the 3rd floor so it fed my to the Ball Road light instead of the empty overpass! I did not reach the freeway until close to 10:40. A good 30 minutes later than usual.
